Jaylen Brown blamed Boston for his fake-ass hairline. The Celtics star said on a recent video stream that 10 years of stress trying winning championships caused him to start balding. Brown has been channeling Carlos Boozer this season by using spray to make his hair look fuller, and it’s been leaving a trail of destruction everywhere he goes.

Brown’s hair went viral in the second game of the season when it rubbed off on OG Anunoby’s jersey on a third quarter drive, leaving a big black stain on his white threads. An account with very few followers captured the moment by pointing their phone at their TV, and it immediately went mega-viral. Little did anyone know at the time that this would be the first of many incidents.

Brown’s fake-ass hairline struck again on Wednesday night as the Celtics earned a decisive victory over the Washington Wizards. Brown popped off for 35 points in the win, but that’s secondary to his hairline again rubbing off on another opponent.

This time, breakout forward Kyshawn George was Brown’s victim. The young Wizard he couldn’t believe he had to play the rest of the game with a black streak on his undershirt. Watch the video here:

Brown responded on the social platform formerly known as Twitter by saying “AI is getting outta hand.”

George was the third player this season to have Brown’s fake hair dirty up his jersey. Detroit Pistons wing Ron Holland also got got earlier this season and looked absolutely flabbergasted over his newfound stain.

The lesson here is simple: do not wear a white jersey or a white undershirt when the Celtics are on the schedule and Jaylen Brown is in the lineup. He has to do so much of the heavy lifting for Boston this season with Jayson Tatum rehabbing his torn Achilles, and that means he’s going to work up a sweat. When Brown works up a sweat, his fake-ass hairline threatens the cleanliness of everyone on the court.

Brown isn’t fooling anyone. Boozer got roasted for years for putting shoe polish on his head to hide his balding, and what Brown is doing is every bit as obvious.
